Re: Charging problem 90 XJ
did you replace the alt. with a new or used one? If its a used one the
regulator could be shot (it's internal to the alt.).
Check those wire connections like Mike suggested also double check the
connections on the alt. even do a continuity check on them, I have seen a
broken wire on the small stud (thinks its the field wire??) cause a similar
problem on my XJ.
Have you had the battery tested? a week alt. can cause a battery to
discharge to a state where it will no longer hold a charge.

I installed a new alt., battery tested good is less than a yr old and
holds a charge. Thanks for the tips, I will try them after work

Re: Charging problem 90 XJ
You should check the "new" alternator again. My guess is you took off a bad
one and put another bad one in its place.
